Research vertical 02 / ManasAI

Cutting-edge
AI applications.

Intelligence that understands context deserves equally thoughtful evaluation.

We work at the intersection of multimodal learning, language models, and personalised inference. Our focus is on systems that combine useful predictions with a clear account of their evidence, context, and limitations.

The research question

What makes an AI model useful for a particular person?

A person’s baseline, the task they are performing, and the way a question is framed all matter. We investigate how AI can combine these sources of context, and how its behaviour changes when they do. The goal is to develop applications that researchers can scrutinise, adapt, and evaluate.

What we investigate

Three connected
research directions.

Questions guiding this vertical and its contribution to intelligence for inner wellbeing.

Direction 01

Personalised multimodal models

Explore physiological time series alongside movement, task events, and participant reports. Study individual adaptation and evaluate how models behave across people, sessions, and settings.

Direction 02

Language and knowledge systems

Develop retrieval and reasoning approaches for domain-specific and Indic knowledge. Source traceability, cultural context, and careful evaluation guide this work on reflective and research-facing applications.

Direction 03

Evaluation beyond accuracy

Investigate probability consistency, contextual framing, and order effects. A model that answers well in one prompt may behave differently under a changed context; those differences belong in the evaluation.

How we approach it

From a useful question to a tested application.

01

Frame

Define the use case and what a useful answer would mean.

02

Ground

Connect relevant signals, sources, and study context.

03

Evaluate

Test accuracy, consistency, uncertainty, and variation.

04

Personalise

Study adaptation to individuals without losing sight of limitations.

Emergent non-classical probabilistic structure in large language models under contextual modulations

Jyotiranjan Beuria

An investigation of context-sensitive probability judgements in six open-weight language models. The reported departures from classical probability vary by model; they do not establish a universal quantum signature.

Research implication: evaluate consistency, framing, and question-order effects alongside answer accuracy.

Beyond alignment: representational ethics and the governance of constructed worlds

Venkatesh H. Chembrolu, Vasudeva Prabhath Lolugu & Jyotiranjan Beuria

A framework for examining how AI shapes meaning and experience. It extends ethical analysis from observable behaviour to the representations through which people understand and act in the world.

Design implication: assess how feedback frames experience and affects agency, as well as whether a model’s output is accurate.

Connection to inner wellbeing

Wellness AI with context built in.

For stress and attention research, a prediction only becomes meaningful in the setting of the study. This vertical develops the inference and evaluation methods that can connect SakshiSense data to personalised models and, over time, carefully designed feedback.
